VICE went to Colombia to check out a strange and powerful drug called Scopolamine, also known as "The Devil's Breath." It's a substance so intense that it renders a person incapable of exercising free will. The first few days in the country were a harrowing montage of freaked-out dealers and unimaginable horror stories about Scopolamine. After meeting only a few people with firsthand experience, the story took a far darker turn than we ever could have imagined.

Let me get this straight, you said in the intro that a person having all their property stolen from their flat is worse than someone waking up in a bath holding a sign that they have 5 hours to live and get to a hospital ? You my dear friend are why nobody watched Vice anymore. I just seen the tag line and watched 2:15 minutes before I said this POS is such a valley girl that you would never be able to give a true definition of the horrifying results of this experiment.
police cant find drug dealers but vice can find them interview them and document everything
🤔

That's because the police don't pay them but documentary makers do.

I do believe that his documentary saved my life. i'm from the countryside of São Paulo, Brazil. In 2018, I had to go to São Paulo for an internship interview, when i got there i went to the metro to get to my destination. At one point an sketchy guy approaches me and start talking about how he is going to propose to his wife and asked me to see the ring he bought her. When he opened the ring case (in front of my face) i immediately started feeling like i was going to pass out and nauseous, it was in less than a second that i remembered this video, stood up, closed my nostrils, covered my mouth and ran away from the guy, i was not chased back, but it was scarry as hell!
that's terrifying. i'm glad u were able to recall this vid and what u learned :(

@@justincasey_grabbederpussy6756 so for you, it would be a bad thing to have peace on earth? were you beaten up or molested by your parents as a child?
As a person who was born and lived in a country near Colombia, I can very much tell you that this is true. People are so used to it that it’s actually weird when something like this doesn’t happen everyday. It is not that people are more brave than people in first world countries, we are, we are very scared, we’re scared to step out of our homes to go around the corner, and even at night you are very scared someone will break in. This is something those people have to accept everyday of their lives, that it could be their last day, that when they go out they might not come back. You never stop fearing it, you just learn to live with it. You eventually forget that it’s not normal to live in a place like that. You pick up habits that help you stay safe that people in first world countries laugh at, but if they only knew. You become so paranoid that even when you live in a first world country you do not feel safe. I have friends here in Canada that leave their doors unlocked, go out at night by themselves, take jogs in dark places, walk around with jewellery and electronics, are never looking around, feel safe getting high or drunk around strangers, are willing to meet random people or go to their places, they don’t check around their homes at night, don’t wake up at the slightest sound, keep a weapon near their bed, have a dog, and aren’t afraid to get into fights with random people, without thinking who that person might be and what weapon they might be carrying. Without doing any of this, I feel very uncomfortable. I am very careful to get into fights with random people the first thing I think about is “what if they take out a knife or a gun and kill me?”
Damn, that drug dealer reminds me too much of some people I used to know. You have to be careful around them. They may or may not be trustworthy, but they tend to do stupid stuff that gets them and others in trouble. Like, opening up some potentially fatal powder in a car. One sneeze and everyone is screwed.
😂😂 for real I have know such people they are fun but quite dangerous (because of their unpredictability)
He reminds me of the dude in "The Fifth Element" who tries to rob Bruce Willis.
I accidentally ingested the Datura flower in Mexico and it was the most traumatic experience of my life. After an emergency psychiatric visit, I slept for 16 hours and woke up a completely different person. It changed my entire outlook on life, thankfully in the best way possible, and this video validated that my experience was real. It gives me the chills to think I could have ended up being stuck in the hell I was in after I ingested it. I am so fucking grateful.
you should look up datura trips on here, there's some really fucked up stories
If you don’t mind, can you describe your experience and how your life changed? How was your mental state before the trip?
How TF do you do that on accident?
@@WHITEBOY_RADIOjust wanted to ask the same thing
Did it on a whim i bet. No thought of next day really. Wanted the experience?
The drug dealer was gone to bring the drugs, and came back totally high
You noticed it too
my guess is he probably went in and his plug said do you want some blow with that and he said sure
Was looking for this ha
Your propic reminds me of Love Exposure for some reason, what anime is it from?
@@radialb1894 lmfao
Why would they not include the medical explanation on how the drug works on the brain? What was the point in interviewing an scopolamine expert doctor and not talk about that at all?
Anyone can make a "documentary" and say whatever they want.
Rayniac I had the same thought. Expectations of a scientific explanation were the only reason I wasted 35 minutes of my night
right that's what I waiting for
THANK YOU!! If this is real, formal investigation is needed. Then measures.
James Earl Cash, nice job on being 35 years sober
the drug dealer at 9:03 talking about him being trapped in a trip for 17 days and his friend who forever got lost in a trip in his head. that's sum fckd up stuff. this is the dangers of things like this.
When I was younger I was fascinated by the Carlos Castaneda books where he described training under a Yaqui shaman in Mexico. One of their rituals involved using Datura -- they would chew the roots and swallow the juice. Datura (jimson weed) grows wild where I was at the time and is really easy to recognize, so I gave it a go. No idea how the trip differed from using the seeds or flowers, but it was a pretty wild ride. I remember feeling absolutely normal at first, even driving a 4-wheel vehicle out of the desert where I ingested. We stopped when we got to a ranger station, I got out of the jeep, the world turned sideways, and I hit the deck. From then on my memories were sketchy. My friend drove after that, I remember opening the door and feeling like I could step out. At highway speed. My buddy was an EMT and once we got home he decided to take me to the hospital. The primary drug is a stimulant, and my heart rate was over 150. I remember some vivid hallucinations, the floor tile floating, being fascinated by a coat zipper, then total disorientation at finding myself strapped into a bed as the drugs they treated me with started kicking in. It wasn't like being hypnotized, I don't think, more like being in a separate world, with total clarity, and no control. Never again.
That's why witches/herbalists/cunning folk in Medieval Europe and Early Modern times mixed Wolfsbane in many of the magical potions and ointments that contain belladonna, henbane, mandrake and scopolia to counteract/balance-out the ventricular tachycardia (fast heart rate) and hyperthermia (overheating). They also eventually used opium by Early Modern times to, again counteract the fast heart rate but also the dysphoria. Pharmacological cardioversion was essentially invented by witches in the Late Middle Ages, hence the polyherbal concoctions, brews and ointments mentioned in these grimoires and old herbals which characterized witchery. It was really all just about the Nightshades with the other additional herbs just their to "balance-out" the problematic side effects.
Artificial enlightenment like the one Casataneda pushes are a dangerous waste of time.
@@VictorVentriloquista Nightshades aren't for enlightenment. They're all about 'power', not healing or knowledge like say ayahuasca or psilocybin. That said, things like psilocybin could be seen as a kind of cheat code for such things or shortcut more or less and I'm not sure if you're categorizing that with the "artificial enlightenment" here but in the case of psilocybin it absolutely is not dangerous nor a waste of time. I've gone down pretty much all the epistemological rabbit-holes and I can confidently declare that psilocybin is it.
It’s not artificial enlightenment. It’s shamanic tools used by indigenous leaders of the spiritual path for tens of thousands of years that open gateways to spirit and consciousness and cleanse the doors of perception. These cleansed doors of perception cause new neural pathways to open up in the superhighway that connects the mind, soul, and body and jettison the user towards actual enlightenment as you come to learn the power of your own mind and transcend the lessons the universe teaches you.
The drug dealer def used something when he picked up the drug, came back to the car loopy as hell

A variety of Datura grows here in the US, in the four corner states. Had to babysit a friend who was out of her mind after drinking a tea made of the seeds. It was horrifying what she was going thru. She was never quite the same after that experience

My older sister drilled it into me that you must NEVER leave your drink unattended. If you are in a public space, a bar, a nightclub, ect...you should keep your hand over the top of your drink, to prevent evil rapists from tampering with it. Never drink anything a stranger gives you...trust the bartender, but no one else!
I wouldn't even trust the bartender especially in a foreign country. Someone could bribe him to put something in your drink or even in the glass before he makes it. I only drank from bottles that I saw being opened. If I had to use the bathroom in an unfamiliar bar I put a napkin over the top and brought the bottle with me.
In countries with drugs like this I wouldn’t even trust the bartender
Better still avoid those places completely
Same! When I go pee or anything my drink is in my hand! I will sit on the toilet that drink does not leave my hand. And if it DOES- I pour it out. I totally drilled this in my little sister too! I was drugged in a sprite when I was 12 and if I can teach my little sister anything that will potentially prevent evil people being able to take advantage of her, I will try my best.
In South America can't even trust that

I’ve taken Datura 4 times when I was 16 years old. I still had free will, but I did it alone. The hallucinations were not like a psychedelic. Pure confusion and delirium. Bugs crawling over everything, full conversations with people who would vanish. At one point I found myself in my living room, Saturday morning, sun shining through the window, folding laundry with my mother. This lasted about an hour. I came to on my bedroom floor and I was just smashing a shirt on the floor together over and over. I took the datura at 11PM. The full reality hallucination without knowing it was intense. It messes up your language center. I was caught and taken to a hospital the first time. My family thought I was on LSD. They kept asking “Where did you get the acid?” And I meant to say “I didn’t do acid” but instead “the pigeons in the basement” came out of my mouth. I was fucked up for 24 hours. Idk why I repeated the experiment but I did. Not enjoyable. This was crushed datura seeds. I never did pure Scopolamine. If you get the chance to try datura, I wouldn’t.
Yep sounds like it sucks
Darwin Award goes to... You!
A friend of mine put a table with coffee and cookies and was serving all his classmates, talking , laughing and pouring coffee to his guests but he was totally alone at the kitchen at his home when they found him acting like a maniac
I have chronic vertigo. I got put on scopolamine patches since it's prescribed for sea sickness, at the time i wasnt informed of any risks or symptoms to look out for, i was so in need of a resolution i didnt think that something bad was possible. Only recently I've realized how much of a zombie and how out of wack my emotions have become. My memory has never been worse. And the withdrawal is the worst part. If you know someone who in thr future would use the patches for more than a few days, do not let them keep using them. Any relief is not worth the withdrawal. The shame of willingly taking a date rape drug and becoming addicted with no high or benefit is not a fate i will wish on anyone.
My friend uhh i dont know how to break it to you but you were not given scopolamine Scopolamine is non addictive just like salvia its closer to anti addictive then even a bit addictive you shouldn't of gotten any withdrawls from it
Did you check yourself for vitamin d defiency? I had the same problem until I realized I was vitamin d deficient.
Dealer: shows Scopolamine to camera Me: holds breath
Omg! Dealer: I am literally like so into him right now. Me: Really? Wow.

Scopolamine was prescribed to me by a doctor in the US, and I flipped the hell out. Afterwards, I found out that the hospital security tossed me out in the streets. My husband told me things I did, that I would never do, if I hadn't been given this drug for random nausea. We couldn't figure out what caused this until my husband noticed behind each ear, a tiny brown round patch. Yea, I'm pointing my finger at you Baptist hospital!!

Would just tell them that they drank too much and did those things while intoxicated without them ever knowing that this kind of drug even exists.

When the 21 year old prostitute started to say "the first time I used the drug" I was thinking her own recreational use... She was evil man. Pure evil.
she is just making shit up.
@Redwoodrebelgirl Not every prostitute is sex trafficked. There are plenty who enjoy it and say it is very lucrative, some very high end making 10,000+ a session. Prostitution isn't wrong if done in a safe environment with two willing participants and condoms enforced. I'm a woman myself and knew someone in prostitution and she said she has great exciting sex with her clients and profits. Women's rights is about having the choice to do what you want. Some women even find it liberating to work for themselves, decide when and if they want to work and with whom. Sex isn't a sacred act for most people. It's the same principal as a massage, paying someone for their time and pleasure.

i lived in colombia and my neigbour had some in his garden. they use the plant for so called ayahuasca ceremonies. so people should be carefully when they find a ceremoney which costs only half the price of all the other. actually the plant is pretty popular in europe as well. they are commonly known as angels trumpets which describes the plants really well.
My best friend from high school consumed 2 tbsp of datura seeds when he was 17 years old and he's now in a care home 30 years later. It immediately caused him to trip for like 2 weeks straight and he didnt even know who he was, After that he developed paranoid schizophrenia and started talking to people who werent there, it was horrible. He lost all touch with reality. Please dont do this drug.
Crazy, it's like how the guy in the video described his friend got stuck.
He probably had underlying scizophrenia or other illnesses already. These things generally doesn't generate mental illnesses, they just bring them up to ones knowledge.
I'd like to think this is a anecdotal case and does not represent the majority of cases of victims/ users who have had this drug. Like others mention, it's different person to person, however, a similar consensus is made, it causes really damage to peoples minds. It is not like any other form of psychoactive drug. It is just a harmful substance.
more than likely a lie. not causal. more trigger if anything.

We call it jimsonweed in the USA. Regular has a white trumpet flower, but there are others that have brightly colored flowers sold as a garden ornamental. Both make spikey pods filled with small black seeds similar in size to pepper seeds. As a drug it is super potent. A little of the flower will cause a dream like trip that lasts for hours. The seeds are far stronger and the experience is harsh. You can trip for over 24 hours, actually hallucinate.The body effects include getting too hot, extreme thirst, and light sensitivity. It has a nasty hanngover as well.😮

It all makes it way to the oceans... along with all the other toxic crap humans have created. Poor marine life.
Your profile pic, matches your comment perfectly lmao
As a child we had Datura growing everywhere in the garden and my parents asked me to never even touch the plant.I heard crazy stories about how some people consumed it during Shivratri festival and never came back to their senses and left home and became hermits and begged for food.Never thought it could be this dangerous.
I've grown that as an annual in my garden the flowers smell amazing I knew it was poisonous but I dident know it was a crazy drug.
The drug dealer was a genius. Wish he could have found a better path in life...you can tell he's smart (and intuitive).
+Chairman Meow Yeah he was clearly fucked up in the head but he seemed very likable and definitely a smart guy.
He seemed pretty cool
That's what happens all over the world people are born with intelligent brains and are smart but have to sell drugs or kill just to survive so that intelligence is never used. The next Einstein could be cutting coke right now.
+Tomas Colquhoun I know that those 2 VICE guys took some home and with friends around who were straight tried it one by one and made hilarious videos.
+Chairman Meow , Colombia has lots of your people Hook on cocaine Base , they smoke it with tobacco, lace in cigarrets , that base is what fuel the crime and homeless in Colombia , and the PRISON ARE PACK TO THE RIM, AND WATCH OUT FOR THE DOWN DEPARTURE TEN -K SENTENCE REDUCTION , SET YOU UP FOR A MULE AND RAT YOU OUT , SO THAT THERE FAMILY MEMBER CAN GET A DOWN DEPARTURE OF SENTENCE BACK IN THE STATES .
"It traps your consciousness. It steals your soul" Damn!
What a horrible drug
freddy mabule sounds like the same outcome when you fall in love 🤣
none ya horrible people using the drug on innocent people*
Oh I have this plant in my garden and I never knew! Will be more careful around it from now on
Its interesting that scopolamine is used in a bunch of different medical treatments such as helping with motion sickness, nausea, IBS, and even recently to treat Parkinson’s, however, when used without the proper solution, it zombifies you
This whole documentary sounds like a load of B S
@@akkay47 speaking of B S - I gotta hit the John…talk to ya after a successful BM, yeah?
That drug dealer was a fucking delight. And to the guy saying that karma will bite that girl in the ass, I'm pretty sure it already has. She's miserable. I feel sorry for her. Also I waited this whole fucking video to see you guys try it and you pussied out. Come on.
Jaylie Piatt why the hell would they try it they said it isn't a recreational drug
Jaylie Piatt I wanted to see the effects too, but it will fuck you up. Still, I am curious about the drug and want to see how it affects one in a safe environment without that person killing themselves.
RedJoker9000 yeah risking permanant brain damage seems like a good idea ... but I wanted to see them try it too
send me some I do a video with me trying :D
geezusispan Nah, I'm not an investigative journalist.
this guy went in to get it and he came back high asf hahaha
+Mark I That's correct.
+Mark I How? This is stuff we have all taken. Its a common anti nausea medication. It is sold in every pharmacy.
when ??
11:40 when he went to the guy 12:04 when he came back into the car
yeah lol
Knew a guy who, previous to having met him on movie set, had done jimsonweed with friends...he was the only survivor and even then was paralyzed for weeks after. He chose the movie gig after he regained his fine motor functions.
plug seems chill
That drug dealer seems like the kind of eccentric RPG npc that every game has, like comic relief. My man is obviously fried but he’s funny
Like the guy Dave from plant vs zombie?
Gta Gang Memeber lol
Fried 😅
Cringe
I was literally thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
Here's all the points where that hilarious drug dealer shows up: 2:32 - 3:47 4:10 - 4:33 4:47 - 4:58 8:09 - 8:21 8:55 - 9:19 9:39 - 10:00 11:34 - 12:49 15:33 - 17:28 24:03 - 25:03
nin6246 He looks like a video game character lol what's this video without him? xD
there are alot of dealers in Turkey like him :) we call them as "torbaci"
Iduna Asgard yeah like he came from far cry
ah a fellow anarcho capitalist
nin6246
The dried flower petals, not the seeds, are quite nice to smoke with weed.
Bro that restaurant band was so good that id gladly go to Columbia even if i knew id be drugged rapped and/or murdered
Nobody: Vice: *reveals the drug dealers full name*
fake name*
The dealer's name is Demencia Black. Demencia means dementia, or madness, in Spanish so pretty sure that's not his real name ;-)
It’s not like they can take him to jail lol this is in Columbia
Alias or nickname
LMAO FR FR
"Its airborne but not enough! YAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" This guy was high off his arse.
sketch dude to be rollin around with
@@user-my9ok1nz1j BIG TIME!
The vice news guy probably told the guy that they will buy him drugs. Used this man to get locations of dealers lol
He's been cracking me up the whole time!
@Your Majesty it doesn’t work like that
Incredible. So scary, but what a fascinating documentary. I wish this drug did not exist.
Dude went all the way to Bogata to see the Jimson Weed growing down the street from his house...
the guy in the taxi went to buy them the drug and came back so fuked up!!! did he score some coke along the way???
usually
Timestamp?
Lmfaoo😂
Crack
Hell yea I literally was strolling the comments to see if anyone else noticed this too hahaha either he gave them that gringo price so he could come up. Or they also said fuck it heres some extra cash get you somethin too for helping us with this footage. Dude came back tooted n booted! 😂
Imagine taking this and listening to motivational speeches and affirmations all day...
Bruhhhhhhh
You'd become the next Budha.
Or the next president
@@amwin7 your confidence would be so high it'd warp reality and all your dreams would come true.
This might be the greatest concept ever!
This is still one of the sickest docs Vice has ever made
why don't the fine brothers use it? then people cant react.
loool
+Antguitarman No there sub count will go down again
+That BlackGuy *their, twat
luislopez224 Do I care no fuck off
+That BlackGuy let me rephrase; Do I care? No, so fuck off* thank me later, mynygga
the drug dealer is hilarious
He laughing like a maniac wym?
😂
He don’t give a shit, 17 day trip. He seems cool 😎
Dumb bitch
@@luisal3273 the funny thing is that most druggies here in Colombia laugh like that.
Muy bueno... estas son las cosas que hay que viralizar.
The last guy who got all 3 of em whacked kinda made me feel like he hit revenge for all the other victims
*shows victim giving testimony* *immediately cut to person fitting exact description of their attacker*
i was creeped out by this lmao
He just said they were black and she happens to be black too? Doesn’t mean it was her. If he said it was white girls and the next clip was a white girl you wouldn’t have said anything. Black people don’t all look the same, Do you realize?
@@rachelenkay9523 no if it were white people I would have the same reaction. Now if it were Latin people I probably wouldn’t say anything. They’re in a Latin country and the B-roll don’t show a whole lot of dark people. Being a “minority” characterizes you from the cultural norm if most people in your region come from a different heritage than you, don’t you realize?
@@trapsarenotgay8228 still doesn’t mean that “ it fits the exact description” or to say “oh she’s black too, it could’ve been her” no, like he gave a very very vague description. i was able to watch it without thinking this at all because i know that even if black people are a minority in a country and someone would say a black person did something it isn’t ground to suspect any black person i see on the street. This is called racial profiling.
@@rachelenkay9523 they look all the same
wtf happened to the dealer when he came back?
ViperStarFilms Well, he was high.
ViperStarFilms the drug dealer that gave the drug to the other drug dealer used that crazy drug to make him forget that he went there buying the drug...i think. you got it? =)
GERMAN MAKAROV wut
GERMAN MAKAROV Jajaja Spielberg
+ViperStarFilms The second drug dealer drugged the first drug dealer to forget he bought the drugs from him.
He came back so high😂😂😂
High as a kite
33:00 rough story, nice ending. It is a particular world, and you have to respond in certain ways. As a warning to others. What other end could they've imagined for themselves doing this like that to people ...
lmao i think that guy took did some other drugs while he was out of the car
+wundz Hahaha I was thinking the same thing, that change in personality was hilarious
+wundz you think?
+wundz Nooooo, he is just a very happy person.
Yeah he took their money, bought coke, and gave them baking soda. The real dealer was the person he met lol... He was just some dude who was slick enough to beat Vice.
+BER2ERKER he was pretty fucking high i'd even say :D
So were all gonna ignore the fact that that drug dealer probably did about 5 lines of coke at around 12:00?
He was all normal before he went in there and came back lit as shit. Pretty funny.
psh, i do 8 lines of weed a day. git on my level
+BBQboy MCS Lines of weed? Fucking dumbass.
Atlantadipper2436 boi u dont evn kno you dumb basic bitch. im cool and ur not
BBQboy MCS You're cool and I'm not??😂 Really bro? That's the best you can come up with? Dude I ain't no "basic bitch" but I would basically make you my bitch.
Scopolamine has been a seasick drug forever.
I’m deep in the VICE documentary rabbit hole and I’m not mad about it
If you're interested in getting some top quality strain's I recommend you to👻SC:terpdaddy88👻 he is a good and realible person
@@pebepbdoevhpwbeoebe7929 he is you. Random people don’t advertise.
@@pebepbdoevhpwbeoebe7929 I ain’t trustin no one with a name like that
off topic but u are so pretty!
@@pebepbdoevhpwbeoebe7929 fill out a job application
What if one person is affected by the drug and two people are telling that one person to do opposite things... who does that person listen to?
Interesting. I was also wondering what would happen if you command the person to give the drug to another and tell them to give it to others, would it cause a chain reaction epidemic? Or what if you have a room full of people, all on the drug, what would they end up doing?
Brade Bronson Probably their brains will explode
Definitely. It doesn't add up, so something has to give Take every idea to a polar extreme and think about it.
Well, if you're interested, you can search the web for "trip report"+ name of substance (atropine, scopolamine, datura, atropa belladonna etc.) or just group of similarly acting substances (deliriants). You'll find many of user experiences with detailed description of hallucinations and all the weird effects.
Brade Bronson they die.
Coincidence, but yesterday someone told me that in La Palma, Canary Islands, his mother used that plant as cough medicine. She told me that they dried the pistils and smoked them... and that it worked! That plant is very common in gardens in Tenerife and I have never heard of it harming anyone, yes, they call it poppy... and children are told not to eat it or put it in their mouths! So.....
I grew up on the north coast of NSW and my friend had a huge daytura plant in the front yard 😐 yikes!
4:33 Drug dealer -"I can get it because I know where to get fucking anything" lol
fr
He didn't even say the f word hahaha they added that for flavor
HydroXenon93
Xenon gas in water ehhh?
Well that's a drug dealer's job. You need something - They know where to find it no matter what it is.
lets hope waste water filtration is excellent there
+OrangeyFruit sub to me I will to u plz
+aggred that water isnt reused ;)
+aggred were allfucked.
+aggred It would be extremely diluted probably very quickly. You'd get a microscopic and untraceable amount into your system and you probably wouldn't even know it.
+aggred If the water filtration is as good as the small system I installed on my sailboat, I have doubts much (if any) of any foreign substance would pass. I lived aboard for 20 years on the pacific and drank only my own reverse osmosis processed sea water. Was the best water I ever tasted. As far as I know reverse osmosis is now being used for more than salt water.
